So uh. Yeah. Fell sick on Saturday after I went to Queensway Shopping Centre to buy a new pair of outdoor shoes for my upcoming Japan trip. Talking about the shoes, I’m kinda regretting that I didn’t go with my gut to get Salomon. Instead, I was being persuaded to buy The North Face, which was um, well, not enough cushioning for my feet. We’ll see how it goes though. I might get insoles or heel cushions if it feels bad after a couple of months.
Anyway, I was having a bout of running nose, while Bruno wasn’t feeling too well either. So we kinda just get our arses home by early evening. And my body succumbed to the virus. -_- Nose just kept running non stop, and I had to pop Fedac at night and a couple of Neuflo pills as I felt sorethroat coming up as well. Spent the entire Sunday sleeping too. Woke up at 11am, then got out of bed to eat, then climbed back to bed to snooze again till 3pm. All that – with a headache. Meh I was just literally sleeping my long weekend away. Felt better on Monday, so just sat in front of the PC and WoW for the entire day… while having a super bad migraine that felt like something was tearing apart the insides of my head. And I actually went down to Percolate to buy another cup of coffee at 6.30pm…
… which was a bad move. I couldn’t sleep – at all – last night. At 1.30am, my eyes were still wide open. Whenever I tried to close my eyes, things just flashed in front of my eyes – random things. Odd shapes and sizes, random 1-second scenes from my memories – everything just came in a rush until I opened my eyes again. And needless to say, I was in a panic state of mind. I think.
Left my boss a Whatsapp message telling her about my insomnia, and that if she didn’t see me in office in the morning, it means I’ll be taking an urgent morning leave from work. Felt a bit better after sending that message, but still uneasy that I still couldn’t sleep at 2am. Messaged Bruno a bit, but the lad was playing Dota 2 with his friends, so I didn’t really wanna disturb him much. He was kind enough to drop me a bit of advice here and there when I was kinda at a lost. not knowing what to do and feeling rather helpless. (I really hate not being able to sleep when I know I’ve got to get up for work a few hours later.) Finally settled with watching a Dota 2 match – F5 vs FTMR (For The Mother Russia) – and managed to finish watching the whole game 2, while yawning umpteen times. I thought I’d be ready to sleep, but nope, the moment I put down my phone and close my eyes – the flashes came again. So, oh well, I continued watching the stream again… and I think I actually dozed off a little (YAY!) at the start of the third game at around 3.15am. But hurhur, woke up 30 minutes later with eyes wide open. Zzzzzz…. but I could feel the tiredness creeping in, so I tried to sleep… and yup, I think I managed to sleep at 4am. Woke up at 6am due to alarm, and I just kept snoozing the alarm until 6.30am before I totally shut it off. Went back to sleep again, and finally woke up at 7am. I sat up on bed, wondering if I should just continue sleeping, then decided that I should be awake enough for work, so here I am, typing this blog entry in office. Not too sure how long I can survive the rest of the day till I hit the bed… but we’ll see.
